Problem with SPam, some SPAM going through filter.

[Gareth]

I believe you have to be registered to see the experts-exchange answers
now which I guess a lot of people wont want to do.

Basically I have suggested using the spamassassin VBounce plugin
(http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/VBounceRuleset) which looks for the
headers mentioning your outgoing mail servers in the NDR's and marks
them as spam if they are not present.
